La Ratonera Beach, located inside the Charles Darwin Research Station, is an ideal destination for surfers and snorkelers looking for some unforgettable beach adventures. With its close proximity to the open sea, and its abundance of rocks and crags, La Ratonera has earned a reputation as one of the best surfing spots in the islands. The waters are usually calm and shallow, perfect for those looking to take on some snorkeling too! What's more, the beach is free and offers beautiful views thanks to its relative isolation from the hubbub of local towns. So grab your surfboard or your snorkel and get ready for a wild beach experience at La Ratonera.
